Is anyone aware of software that simulates Phase contrast and DIC microscopy from bright field images. I have read several papers on techniques describing it e.g. Optical Phase Microscopy Allman et al (2002) Microscopy and Analysis that show pictures simulating phase and DIC from bright field microscopy but I can't find the software online, or a commercial seller. Dr Keith Nugent from Australia has published papers on Quantitative phase... and mentions IATIA Ltd Qpm www.iatia.com.au, but the web site is no longer available and I received no reply from Dr. Nugent. If anyone can help in identifying software that mimics DIC and Phase contrast that is available I would be greatful - please include a link to the source if possible.
